The facility doubles existing production capacity to around 20,000 charging systems per year once fully operational.
The company claimed productivity would increase with the new plant, helped by the introduction of additional automated systems including in line conveyor belts and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) used for transporting materials.
Delivery times would be shortened and worker productivity boosted.
EVSIS said it had produced and installed 4,000 chargers by the end of last year and aimed to increase output to 7,500 units by the end of 2024.
